Committees

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SMALL BUSINESS

As an entrepreneur and small business owner himself, Rep. Phillips brings valuable experience and a proven bipartisan record of results to the Small Business Committee and will remain focused on supporting those small businesses most impacted by the COVID pandemic. In his first term, Phillips authored the bipartisan Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Flexibility Act which helped thousands of small businesses access much-needed PPP funds and avoid further closures and layoffs. Minnesota’s Third Congressional District has more small businesses – generating more in payroll at $11.2 billion annually – than any other District in the state, according to the Small Business Administration.

“Small businesses in our community – from local burger joints to barbershops – are the glue that hold our communities together and power our economy, and they’re in crisis. We must do everything in our power to help them weather the storm so that they can help lead the economic recovery once we are through this pandemic. I’ll have the voices of Minnesota’s small business owners and entrepreneurs in mind as we provide the oversight necessary to ensure federal funds are accessible and equitably distributed and as we lay the groundwork for a prosperous future for our main street businesses.”

SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE MODERNIZATION OF CONGRESS

The bipartisan Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress was created in 2019 and tasked with making recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Congress. After months of hearings, the Select Committee released 29 recommendations, including one inspired by Rep. Phillips to overhaul the onboarding process for freshmen members so that newly-elected Republicans and Democrats – who are normally separated by political party – spend more time together. As a new member of the Select Committee, Phillips will advance ideas, processes, and technologies that foster cooperation and restore Americans’ faith in government.

“Over my 30-year career in business and philanthropy, I observed hundreds of organizations, institutions, and enterprises throughout the world. I have never encountered one so utterly dysfunctional and in need of reformation as our Congress. A system that elevates dividers and ignores uniters, that promotes those who raise the most money for their party and sidelines those who raise the best ideas for their country, and that over appreciates tenure and under appreciates talent, makes a mockery of our Founders’ greatest contributions. It’s time for Congress to value winning policies over winning elections.”

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS 

Phillips will remain on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for a second term. In an increasingly interconnected world, and after four years of increased tensions with allies around the world, his work on the committee will be far-reaching.

“The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and the spread of disinformation are global issues that won’t be solved with outdated, isolationist thinking. I look forward to working with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and my colleagues on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to rebuild our relationships with allies, reestablish American leadership in the world, and ensure the 21st century is one of expanding peace and prosperity.”

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ETHICS

Phillips will remain on the House Ethics Committee for a second term. Committee members are tasked with supervising and enforcing ethics rules for the House of Representatives. It is the only standing committee with membership divided evenly between political parties; five Democrats and five Republicans.

“Restoring Americans’ faith in our government begins with cleaning up corruption and holding elected leaders accountable to the highest standards of ethics.”

The district, which is mostly suburban in character, includes a few farming communities on its far western edge and also inner-ring suburban areas on its eastern edge. The district includes the blue collar cities of Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids to the north-east, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the west. Democrat Dean Phillips currently represents the district in the U.S. House of Representatives, after defeating incumbent Republican Erik Paulsen in the 2018 midterm elections.

Wikipedia

Dean Benson Phillips[1] (né Pfefer; born January 20, 1969)[2] is an American politician and businessman who has served as the U.S. representative from Minnesota’s 3rd congressional district since 2019.[3] A member of the Democratic Party, his district encompasses the western suburbs of the Twin Cities, such as Bloomington, Minnetonka, Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Eden Prairie. Outside of politics, Phillips has both owned and started several companies in addition to serving as president and CEO of his family’s liquor business, the Phillips Distilling Company.[4][5][6] He is the former co-owner of Talenti gelato and co-owns Penny’s Coffee.

First elected in 2018, Phillips defeated six-term Republican incumbent Erik Paulsen.[7] By flipping the previously Republican district, he became the first Democrat to win the seat since 1958, and has since been reelected twice by comfortable margins. In November 2023, Phillips announced that he would not run for reelection.[8] Despite consistently voting in support of President Joe Biden‘s policy positions, he challenged him for the Democratic Party nomination in the 2024 presidential election.[9][10] Phillips received the second-highest number of delegates of any candidate in the primaries (four), but was unsuccessful.[11][12]

Early life, education, and career

Phillips was born to DeeDee (Cohen) and Artie Pfefer in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1969.[13] His biological father was killed in the Vietnam War six months after Phillips was born. His mother married Eddie Phillips, heir to the Phillips Distilling Company and the son of advice columnist Pauline Phillips (popularly known as Dear Abby),[14] in 1972. Eddie adopted Dean, who took the last name Phillips.[15] He was raised Jewish.[16]

In the early 1970s, Phillips moved from Saint Paul to Edina. He attended The Blake School.[17]

Phillips graduated from Brown University in 1991 and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He worked for bicycle equipment and apparel company InMotion for two years, and then joined his family’s company’s corporate office. He later completed his Master of Business Administration at the University of Minnesota‘s Carlson School of Management in 2000. After graduation, he was named the president and CEO of his family’s organization, Phillips Distilling Company.[14]

Phillips served as the company’s president and CEO from 2000 to 2012. He then stepped aside to run one of his other corporate investments, Talenti gelato, until it was sold for an undisclosed amount to Unilever in 2014.[18] In 2016 he founded Penny’s Coffee, a coffeeshop chain he still owns, which has two locations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area as of 2022.[18]

See also: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota § District 3

Phillips was unopposed in the Democratic primary. In the general election, he defeated the Republican nominee, retired U.S. Navy submarine officer Tom Weiler, with 60% of the vote.[25]

Tenure

According to FiveThirtyEight's congressional vote tracker at ABC News, Phillips voted with President Joe Biden‘s stated public policy positions 100% of the time,[26] making him more liberal than average in the 117th Congress when predictive scoring (district partisanship and voting record) is used.[26] Phillips voted in favor of Biden’s major economic agenda items, including the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and Science Act.[27] During the start of his first term in 2019, the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University placed him 27th out of 435 members in terms of bipartisanship.[28]

Phillips sponsored the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, which President Trump signed into law.[29][30]

In 2021, Phillips received the Bipartisan Policy Center‘s Bipartisan Legislative Action Award.[31]

Phillips authored five provisions in the H.R.1 legislation that passed the House in March 2021. H.R.1 was an enormous anti-corruption and voting rights reform bill known as the For the People Act. It also included a major overhaul of campaign finance and redistricting laws. Phillips’s provisions for the package included the Voter NOTICE Act, which sought to fight disinformation, and the FIREWALL Act, which sought to strengthen safeguards of online advertising.[32]

Phillips co-sponsored the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act, giving Liberians a pathway to citizenship, which President Trump signed into law.[33][34]

Phillips co-sponsored H.R. 2307, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which would put a price on carbon and return the proceeds to taxpayers,[35] and H.R. 8395, the EPA Regulatory Authority Act of 2022, which would restore the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.[36]

On March 5, 2022, Phillips was among the lawmakers who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about providing additional help to Ukraine in fending off Russia’s invasion.[37][38]

Phillips was among the U.S. delegation that attended the 2022 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.[39]

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Phillips co-sponsored bills to protect women’s reproductive rights that aimed to ensure access to abortion and reproductive health care across states, including H.R. 8297: Ensuring Access to Abortion Act of 2022[40] and HR 8111: My Body, My Data Act of 2022.[41]

Phillips sponsored the Pathways to Policing Act to provide $50 million to the Department of Justice and local communities in funding to enhance officer recruitment efforts.[42][43][44] Another $50 million would go to the Department of Justice to create Minnesota-style Pathways to Policing programs in states across the nation.[45]

On July 10, 2023, Phillips co-led the bicameral IDEA Full Funding Act in the House of Representatives. This legislation aimed to finally ensure Congress fulfills its commitment to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).[46][47]

One of Phillips’s points of pride during his tenure in Congress is his claim that he is the only member of Congress to refuse all money from lobbyists, special interest groups, and Political Action Committees, and his decision to not have his own leadership Political Action Committee.[48]

On December 20, 2023, Phillips signed on as a co-sponsor of the Medicare for All Act.[49] This marked a departure from his earlier position on healthcare; he said that he had previously been “convinced through propaganda that [single-payer healthcare] was a nonsensical leftist notion”.[50] He cited a confluence of factors that shifted his view in favor of Medicare for All, including his experience caring for his daughter who had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, the financial strain of providing health insurance to his employees as a business owner, and the dynamics of representing a congressional district that includes the headquarters of UnitedHealth Group as well as many people who struggle to access healthcare.[51]

On May 17, 2024, Phillips reintroduced the Voter Choice Act in the 118th Congress, which provides $40 million in federal matching grants, covering up to 50% of the cost for local and state governments that choose to adopt ranked-choice voting.[52][53]

On September 27, 2024, Phillips introduced the American Dream Accounts Act of 2024, which would establish in the Social Security Administration a $5,000 account for every American child to be invested in an index fund and vest upon graduation from high school, GED, or waiver for disability.[54][55]

On December 16, 2024, Phillips delivered his farewell address on the House floor.[56] In it, he criticized America’s two major political parties for “legalized corruption” that prioritizes their own “self-protection over principles”[57] and urged his colleagues to find commonsense solutions and focus on ideas over ideology in solving problems.[58]

2024 presidential campaign

Phillips’ presidential campaign logo.

In July 2023, Phillips said he was considering challenging President Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic presidential primaries.[63] Before launching his campaign, Phillips reportedly reached out to other elected Democratic officials, such as Governors Gretchen Whitmer and JB Pritzker, to urge them to enter the presidential primary, but they declined to speak with him directly.[64][65] In October 2023, he announced that he would step down as co-chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee because his views on the 2024 presidential race were incongruent with the majority of his caucus.[66] On October 27, in Concord, New Hampshire, he announced a run for the presidency[67] after he officially filed the paperwork with the Federal Election Commission the previous day.[68] Phillips argued during his campaign that Biden would be a weak general election candidate due to his age and low approval ratings.[69] Phillips said he would challenge to gain access to the primary ballots of several states where the Democratic Party had excluded him.[70][71] The Democratic Party of Wisconsin left Phillips off the ballot; he appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on January 26, 2024.[72] The court unanimously ruled on February 2 that Phillips should be included on the ballot.[73] He accused representatives of the Biden campaign of pressuring liberal media outlets not to platform him.[74][75] Phillips also accused the Democratic National Committee of actively obstructing Democrats and Independents from ballot access—”bleeding campaigns dry” by suing non-incumbent candidates and imposing “absurd signature requirements”.[76]

Phillips received his first endorsement from New Hampshire State Representative Steve Shurtleff, who said his main reason for doing so was Biden allowing the Democratic National Committee to attempt to strip the state of its first-in-the-nation status.[77] Shurtleff said in January 2023 that he would endorse a candidate other than Biden if this occurred.[78] New Hampshire State Representative Tom Schamberg also endorsed Phillips.

Andrew Yang consistently expressed support for Phillips’s campaign since soon after its launch, and co-hosted campaign events in Manchester and Hanover, New Hampshire, with him on January 18.[79][80]

In January 2024, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said he supported Phillips’s campaign, donating $1 million to his We Deserve Better campaign PAC.[81]

On January 8, 2024, Phillips participated in a debate against Marianne Williamson hosted by New England College in Manchester, New Hampshire.[82]

On January 12, NewsNation hosted a forum featuring Phillips and other Democratic presidential candidates. Biden was invited but did not attend. Dan Abrams moderated the discussion.[83]

Other notable people who endorsed Phillips are angel investor and podcaster Jason Calacanis,[84] political and corporate strategist Steve Schmidt,[85] and Jeffrey P. Weaver, political strategist and former campaign manager for Bernie Sanders.[86] Newspapers that endorsed Phillips are New Hampshire Union Leader,[87] Conway Daily Sun,[88] and The Detroit News.[89]

Phillips lost the New Hampshire Democratic primary to Biden, receiving 19.9% of the vote. Biden was a write-in candidate.[90] In the California primary, Phillips received 2.8% of the total votes cast, with 100,284 votes.[91]

On March 6, 2024, Phillips suspended his campaign following Super Tuesday and endorsed Joe Biden.[92]

Phillips has the second-most awarded delegates in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries, with four.[93] In the Ohio Democratic presidential primary, he received three delegates to the Democratic National Convention,[11] meeting the 15% threshold of votes needed to receive a delegate in a congressional district in the state’s 2nd, 6th, and 14th districts.[94] In the Nebraska primary, Phillips earned one delegate by receiving the most votes of any candidate in Logan County, with 55.6% of the vote.[95] Based on the Nebraska primary results, one Phillips delegate represented Madison County at the Nebraska Democratic State Convention.[96] In the Oklahoma primary, he received a plurality in Cimarron County.[97][98][99] In the Missouri primary, he tied with Biden in Clark County.[100][101]

Biden withdrew from the presidential election on July 21, 2024.[102] The same day, shortly before Biden ended his campaign, Phillips urged Democrats to hold an “immediate” vote of confidence on Biden in a Wall Street Journal column and Face the Nation interview amid growing concerns about his reelection chances.[103][104][105] Despite claiming that he still endorsed Biden, Phillips also said on Face the Nation that “it is time [for Biden] to step aside and turn this over to a new generation”.[104]

After Biden withdrew, Phillips said numerous Democrats reached out to him and expressed regret at not taking his concerns more seriously. He expressed disappointment that Biden had not dropped out far earlier and said, “vindication has never felt so unfulfilling.” The New York Times dubbed him the “modern Cassandra of American politics” because his warnings about Biden’s fitness and age proved prescient despite being ignored.[106]

Phillips proposed a straw poll of delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention to determine the party’s top four presidential contenders, who would then take part in four town halls outlining their platforms.[107] After the town halls, the delegates would vote to choose the nominee.[108][109]

U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett, the first sitting Democrat in Congress to openly call for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 United States presidential election after the first presidential debate, said after Trump won, “I only regret I didn’t do it earlier … I believe that the only person in our caucus who doesn’t share some responsibility for the outcome is Dean Phillips, who came out early.”[110]
